Chapter 132 A revised version of Fantasy Westward Journey - Fantasy Three Kingdoms

If you must choose the most popular foreign history in Japan, the Three Kingdoms will definitely top the list.

The CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the only TV series in Japanese history that has been broadcast twice. In order to allow the TV series to be rebroadcasted, Emperor Akihito of Japan at that time came forward to intercede in person.

Not only TV dramas, but "Red Cliff", which has no courage and reveals a petty personality, once occupied the throne of the highest-grossing Asian film in Japan, and it still holds the record for the highest box office of a Chinese-language film in Japan.

The same goes for other fields.

The comic version of "Three Kingdoms" has sold 7000 million copies. Yokohama holds the "Guandi Festival" every summer and even made a big deal of the Guandi Mausoleum.

Enduring masterpieces such as "Three Kingdoms" and "Dynasty Warriors" have also appeared in the game field.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, engaging in cultural and entertainment activities with the theme of the Three Kingdoms in Japan is a matter of making money without losing money.

But how to make it into a qualified MMO is still a big challenge.

Among all the online games with the theme of the Three Kingdoms, the mobile game "Situ no Hama" impressed Shirakawa the most.

But its overall gameplay does not meet the definition of an RPG game, and those agents who come for "Zhengtu" may not necessarily buy it, and he does not want to let a bright pearl be dusted.

Excluding "The Shore of the Land" Shirakawa, there are not many options left. The "Three Kingdoms" and "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" series are more suitable for stand-alone mode. Even if you want to modify it, the underlying logic of the game cannot adapt to the online game mode.

As for the two series "Dynasty Warriors" and "Three Kingdoms" as well as "Total War Three Kingdoms" and other sequels and sales that have proved their good things, Bai Chuan didn't think about it at the beginning, it was just a cooperation with an agent , Meaning is enough, the hen that can lay golden eggs must be kept for oneself to enjoy.

After thinking about it, Bai Chuan was a little embarrassed to find that there really wasn't a single game in his mind that met the current requirements.

But it doesn't matter if we don't, can't we make one ourselves?

Thinking of this, he immediately picked up "Fantasy Westward Journey", which had been left behind due to background problems. As long as he borrowed a little bit from this thing, wouldn't he come to "Fantasy Three Kingdoms"?
"President, can you explain in detail how to make a Three Kingdoms game?" Torakura Sanghei asked eagerly.Not only him, but many planners and game producers in the conference room raised their heads with longing.

The popularity of the theme of the Three Kingdoms in this world is not bad compared with the previous life, and even higher to a certain extent. The theme of the Three Kingdoms can be seen from the role of the Nagano Trio, which was born for the case of the Three Kingdoms It is estimated that it is the second most popular subject in the science world after reasoning.

So when Bai Chuan said that he wanted to make an online game with the theme of the Three Kingdoms, everyone became interested.

"The background of the game is naturally the Three Kingdoms world, but simply repeating the history of the Three Kingdoms is meaningless." Bai Chuan thought carefully about the core of many Three Kingdoms-themed games in his previous life.

Japan loves the Three Kingdoms, and also loves the Three Kingdoms, so he might as well make some changes to the game.

"During the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, a meteorite containing magical energy fell from the sky. People in the whole world were endowed with magical energy because of this strange stone. The most powerful among them was the demon god Xiang Yu who swallowed half of the meteorite.

Just when the powerful Xiang Yu created a race different from humans - the Demon Race. Just when the Demon Race was about to destroy the world, a human from modern times traveled back and led the rest of the human race to resist desperately, and finally succeeded in killing Xiang Yu. seal. "

After hearing the background story compiled by Shirakawa, most people's faces looked confused and confused.

Most people in Xiang Yu still have a little impression, but what are demon gods, demons, and humans who have traveled back from modern times?
"Shirakawa, what does this have to do with the Three Kingdoms game we want to make?" Every time Torakura Sarahei would call Shirakawa instead of the president, it meant that he was opposed to the incident.

This time is no exception.

"Of course it's related! After the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties, Xiang Yu's seal has been loosened, and the demons have re-emerged."

"So we're going to turn the Three Kingdoms into a hero to defeat the devil?" Although Torakura Sanghei was not very proficient in game production, he also noticed something wrong in the game at this time.

As a player, playing a Three Kingdoms game is definitely to participate in the magnificent history, but you changed it to three countries working together to fight the boss together, which is the best game from any angle. Bad choice?
"How is it possible? What I'm talking about is just the background story. These are only briefly mentioned in the CG at the beginning of the game, and it's just to make the various unreasonable abilities in the game reasonable."

Bai Chuan was a little dumbfounded, he said it was just the background, and Chi You was involved in the background of Fantasy Westward Journey, who cares if there is something or not in the real game!
"The specific time of the game's events is at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, during the period of the Yellow Turban Uprising. Players can join any of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu according to their own preferences. Once they join, they cannot be replaced. Each country has its own unique characteristics. occupation and ability.

For example, the professional swordsmen of the Shu Kingdom have high attack and low defense, and have the ability to kill people within three swords. They can eventually change their profession to become a martial saint.

Another example is the professional counselors of the Wei State, who can use powerful spells, but they will consume their own lifespan, and eventually they can be transferred to ghosts. "

"Wu Sheng refers to Guan Yu, and the ghost refers to Guo Jia."

As soon as Bai Chuan finished speaking, Toshiya Tiansuo, who had the deepest understanding of literature, immediately picked out the prototypes of the two professions, "I think such an idea is very useful for reference, but since it is a game with the theme of the Three Kingdoms, no matter how you say it, you still have to Mainly based on the characters of the Three Kingdoms itself."

In Toshiya Tasho's opinion, the novelty of this set of designs is not bad, but it would be more reasonable if it were placed in an overhead world, and it would be a bit strange to force it into the Three Kingdoms game.

"You're right." Bai Chuan nodded. If the Three Kingdoms game didn't include Liu Guanzhang, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Zhuge Liang, would it still be called Three Kingdoms?
"As I said before, players will be assigned to three camps, Wei, Shu, and Wu. This assignment also means the most important system in the game—the general star system!
The role of the general star system is very simple. Players can sign contracts with historical figures in the Three Kingdoms period and invite them to help in the battle.These characters who can sign contracts are divided into four parts: Wei, Shu, Wu, and heroes. "

Having said this, Bai Chuan stopped talking.

He believes that with the ingenuity of the people under him, it should be easy to guess the reason for the division of camps. Wei players can only contract Wei characters, Shu players can only contract Shu characters, and group heroes can only be found. , whoever makes the contract.

In order to obtain a stronger contract object, I believe that players will work hard to increase the number of online players in the game.

Of course, this is only the most basic application, and the meaning behind the star system is a big game.

"Why do I sound a little weird?"

A balding middle-aged programmer stroked the hair on the top of his head, and asked himself, "Do these contract characters need to be cultivated? If they need a little training, isn't it much different from the pet system?"

"Is there such a big difference? Every player who signs a contract will get a clone of that character. As you said, this clone needs to be cultivated slowly starting from level 1, and it even functions similar to a pet.

For example, Xu Zhu is a meat shield with a lot of blood, Zhuge Liang is a mage who controls lightning, Zhao Yun is an assassin with high attack and high sensitivity, and Lu Su is an assistant who can increase blood.But" Bai Chuan smiled mysteriously

"But the players have clones in their hands. Have you ever considered the existence of the real body?"

Many people's eyes lit up when they heard this sentence.

If a server can only have one person sign a contract with the real body, then for Zhuge Liang, for Zhao Yun, and for Guan Yu, I am afraid that many people will grab their heads!
"The role of the real body is not just as simple as the contract!" Bai Chuan continued to talk about his bold plan, "Take Zhuge Liang as an example, what kind of power do you think he should belong to before meeting Liu Bei."

"Belongs to the heroes?" After several seconds, Hu Cang answered with some uncertainty.

"That's right, it belongs to the heroes." Bai Chuan snapped his fingers, approved the statement, and then said like a seductive and depraved demon, "Then when Zhuge Liang joins the camp of Shu, the players in Wu and Wei will be completely defeated." Do you think they will be willing to lose this god-level figure who has gone through so much painstaking efforts to make a contract?"

"Not reconciled."

"I'm definitely not reconciled."

"I like Zhuge Liang the most, but I also like Cao Cao."

Everyone spoke one after another, apparently unable to accept the facts Bai Chuan said.

"Then at this time, as the official game, we release a world mission to ask Shu players to ensure that Zhuge Liang joins Liu Bei's camp, and let Wei and Wu players go to stop them and find ways to pull people into their camps. What do you think? ?”

"Gudu~"

The sound of swallowing saliva was very clear in the silent hall, and everyone knew that this was much more interesting than the swipe and slash game of "Legend".
Although Bai Chuan only mentioned one Zhuge Liang, the whole history of the Three Kingdoms is more than just one Zhuge Liang!Guo Jia, Lu Bu, Zhou Yu, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, and even a slight change in any of the characters will affect the direction of the entire plot. Now, this right is in the hands of the players, how can this make people not crazy!

"We will dig deep into the potential of the plan immediately, and we will definitely be able to come up with a plan that satisfies everyone within a day." Hu Cang, who obviously has some kind of complex for the Three Kingdoms, didn't even bother to start the meeting, and hurriedly led people to prepare for the meeting. game planning.

Looking at the empty conference room that had left at some point, Bai Chuan silently took a sip of his coffee.

The gameplay he mentioned can only be regarded as the most inconspicuous part of the entire game structure.

If an MMO wants to be really fun, the most important thing to solve is the social problem.

"Legend" naturally has social interaction, but most of them are just a taste of it. The world channel requires money to speak, and there is a limit on the number of times friends can speak each day. They can only type and do not support voice. A system with nothing but gang names overhead.

Thinking of this, Bai Chuan opened his notebook, activated the artificial intelligence and started his great cause of struggle.

How to solve the problem of not being social?The simplest and most direct way is to greatly increase the rewards that can be obtained after socializing. For example, setting up some exclusive dungeons requires 3 or 5 people to enter, and after completing the missions, you can get rewards that cannot be obtained from ordinary tasks.

Input these requirements into the computer, and the artificial intelligence will quickly give feedback.

[It is recommended to replace the task issuer with a rare NPC, and the task rewards should be replaced with NPC favorability at the same time. 】

Nice proposal!Bai Chuan's eyes lighted up, he had enough favorability to sign a contract with NPC, and the most effective way to increase favorability was to complete team formation tasks.

At that time, I will directly set the task issuer as the rarest Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang, so I am not afraid that the players will not be tempted.

As expected of an artificial intelligence, although it has not yet obtained 100% permission, the ability it has demonstrated is already very powerful.Being able to come up with new ideas that even he hadn't considered.

However, if players want to form a team, there is another problem before Bai Chuan, and that is chatting.

The most primitive and basic typing must be indispensable. On this basis, he also needs to organize the team channel, gang channel, etc. to give players privacy to a certain extent.

In addition, emoticons are also very necessary.

Thinking about the previous life, in order to prevent players from arguing in the game, or uttering too many unsightly foul language, many games have turned off the typing function, and can only use the expressions and words specified by the system. Naturally, he has to follow suit.

It's just that the particularity of MMOs makes it unrealistic to directly ban typing. The best way is to implement emoticons plus specific words on the world channel. If you really want to shout to the whole world, then pay a lot of money to buy the right to speak.

Last but not least, is the built-in voice system.

This is not difficult, but simply making an embedded multi-person chat system, even if it is developed to the extreme, is just YY in Ke Xue's world. Bai Chuan doesn't want YY, he wants QQ.

Connect to QQ through the game bundle, and then bind the game account and QQ account. It is best to connect the account of the game platform. In the future, every game will use a general account. After a long time, a brand new Tencent will be released.

After telling the artificial intelligence about the demand, Bai Chuan ignored it. Now he has become more and more knowledgeable about how to reduce the work burden for himself.

While developing the alien version of QQ, Bai Chuan himself was not idle. The general star system he mentioned before was really only a small part of the gameplay in the game. Gangs, sworn brothers, and marriages were all things that could be highlighted.

For example, when the three sworn brothers in Taoyuan have one more player, it becomes the fourth sworn knot in Taoyuan. Another example is to marry Xiao Qiao first, or to change Cai Wenji's tragic fate, or even control the female character to directly marry Cao Pi or Liu Bei and become a queen.

At this time, Bai Chuan only felt that countless thoughts were continuously emerging from his mind, like an apocalypse.

Looking at this posture, don't even think about Jiang Gutian, let's just stay in the company and be a code farmer!
